NAD Commends NFL and FOX on Super Bowl XLV Captioning Milestone

National Association of the Deaf (NAD) commends the National Football League (NFL) and FOX Broadcasting Company for achieving a significant captioning milestone on February 6, 2011 by ensuring captioning commitments from all national commercials and promotions for Super Bowl XLV. For the first time ever for any television show, all national network promotions and all national commercials by the companies that bought advertising space were captioned. This milestone was facilitated by a FOX policy that required all Super Bowl XLV commercials come with caption files.
